Chapter 19 No Such Preference (9)
The old residence of the Shi Family was built in the picturesque Half Moon Bay, a broad area with pleasant scenery. The key point was the excellent feng shui, which provided shelter for descendants. Thus, the Shi Family’s ancestors invested heavily to buy this land and constructed the ancestral residence that has been passed down, boasting a history of nearly a hundred years.
Therefore, the architecture of the Shi Family’s old residence carried a hint of classical elegance. Even after all these years, it didn’t appear old or worn out; instead, it was like vintage wine, getting more fragrant with age.
Ling Chuxia watched as the car slowly approached the old residence. Her palms involuntarily began to sweat, and her hands instinctively tightened their grip.
The car passed through the gate, circled around the large lawn, and steadily stopped in front of the main house entrance. Old Chen got out of the car, opened the door, and placed a hand on the roof. "Young Madam, we’re here."
Ling Chuxia made a sound of acknowledgment, bent slightly, and stepped out of the car. She stood in place, gazing at the magnificent and imposing entrance. Her heart was clouded, but she still had to force herself to step forward, walking inside step by step.
Mrs. Shi sat in the living room, conversing with the housekeeper.
Ling Chuxia hurriedly walked forward. When she was about two or three steps away from Mrs. Shi, she put on a well-practiced smile and respectfully said, "Madam, I’m back."
Mrs. Shi acted as if she didn’t hear her speak, gave no response, and continued instructing the housekeeper on various matters.
